I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

I like how bittersweet and painful this is, but with just a touch of determination to make it inspiring. Well done.

The last two sentences really brought this home. Good job!

I could sure sympathize with this. Yes, there is the desire to do better-- the knowledge that you should and need to.

But at the same time, it's hard to let go of practiced denial if that is how you've coped with hardships or difficulties in the past-- by just persisting through them. It's not just adjusting to the unpleasant changes in lifestyle, it's also that it may go against the grain of what has made you so successfully who you are.

Yeah - it sucks to admit, this is part of me now, even when that is the healthier choice. Loved your closing lines :)
